Afghan special forces commando seeking asylum gets caught in broken US immigration system

[FOX] This is a story about an Afghan soldier and a tragically broken U.S. immigration and asylum system.

Abdul Wasi Safi was trained by the U.S. military to be an elite special forces commando in Afghanistan. When Kabul fell, Wasi was still fighting the Taliban in the north. On Aug. 30, 2021, when the last U.S. plane left Kabul, Wasi went into hiding, moving from safe house to safe house arranged by U.S. veterans who helped him get to Pakistan. He hoped to receive a special immigrant visa and to legally move to the U.S.

The Taliban had his biometric data, left behind by the U.S. government, and they were hunting him. Now, Wasi sits in a Texas prison facing deportation to Kabul and certain death, a poster child for America's broken asylum system.

"I was in a special force commando unit with the U.S. military," Wasi told Fox News in a phone interview from Eden Detention Center in Texas. "I wanted to come to the United States. I don't select another country to help me because I was with them. But I come here, and they put me in jail."

#2 This young man apparently subscribes to duty, honor, and courage, so it's clear that Washington has nothing to offer him. He should do himself a favor by identifying as transgender.
